For the last couple of days, I'm suddenly not getting any notifications for any subscribed threads or forums. Is anyone else having that issue?

I just noticed today that I'm not receiving email notifications either. The last one I received was on 12/24.
Yeah me too..... I wonder if it's a Verizon thing for me again. I was getting duplicates a couple weeks ago, but I discovered it wasn't just OGR stuff. Verizon was doubling up on all my emails. Now, I'm not getting any of the OGR notifications, maybe Verizon is jacked up again.
Don't think it's a forum issue, I am still getting them, LOTS of them! Time Warner Roadrunner for ISP.
Verizon has started a new spam blocker that identifies several emails from the same source as spam and then blocks that source. They have a form on line that you can fill out to remove the block. I filled out the form three days ago and have not received a response yet. I talked to verizon via chat and they expedited the order and said that I should hear from them in two working days. So I have not solved the problem yet.

Thanks for this info, David. Verizon is my internet and email service provider, so this may explain it. I haven't had this happen before. Now, if I could just get Verizon to identify all of their OWN emails as spam and stop sending them...!!
That's easy, I changed to one of my gmail accounts.
If you want to report this problem to Verizon use the following link.
This morning, all is again well with the email notifications from the forum. I used David's whitelist link last evening, and requested that the OGR Forum be put on the whitelist. It seems to have worked, and now everyone is again receiving their notifications. Thanks to David Nissen for doing the research and finding the link to the Verizon system. He was key to getting this issue resolved for all of us. Bob Severin
As John sort of alludes to, you should not, as a rule, rely on your ISP for email service. It's just not their forte.

ABSOLUTELY 100% AGREE WITH THIS!
For $13 a year you can register YOUR OWN DOMAIN and have YOUR OWN EMAIL. Gmail tracks all your email so they can put their own ads in it. Many of the others do the same. And they all subscribe to the "lowest common denominator" when it comes to how they treat their customers. They treat you like a dummy. You deserve better...
I've had my own domain for many years, however I typically don't direct a lot of public email to it as I'd like to keep it as SPAM-free as possible for as long as possible.
